FTFA: Believe it or not, there are more Star Wars video games than all the stars in our solar system put together.

All the stars in our solar system put together? Let's see, quick math....carry the two.... ah yes, we have a total of one star in our solar system. And this article is trying to convince me there are more Star Wars video games than that? Balderdash, I don't believe it.

/He's all over the place, 900 feet, up to 1300 feet... what an asshole.

I love that line.

Pitfall is worth a spot for the music alone, but there should be Adventure. Used to be able to do Level Two in under a minute, make sure the bridge is in the right location in the maze and leave the sword waiting in the spot where the Red Dragon stabs himself on it when he appears. Saves time.

No Yars Revenge = Fail. Also, Raiders of the Lost Ark is basically ET without all the negative press. "OK, so here's my whip...how do I use it again? And I've got a gun I guess and...OK I'm dead somehow."

What the--? Was there something wrong with my cart? The only music in Pitfall was the short blast of "Charge" music when you picked up a treasure item and the Tarzan yell when you swung over a pit. Oh, and the funeral music when you died. Still, kind of simple.

There is a distinct possibility that I'm thinking of Jungle King or such game involving swinging on vines over stuff. Or I'm totally imagining everything. Except for the part about Adventure.

I thought this upon seeing the video in TFA, but couldn;t remember much about this game.

Friend of mine had this, I can remember playing it for hours before we figured out the whole "play flute to protect from snakes" thing. Watching that video, I don't ever remember seeing but maybe two or three of those rooms.

That's what was bad about a lot of those old Atari games. I mean come on, make the player find the one spot on the side of seemingly impassable room/wall that they can get through. That kind of thing was fine for a game like Adventure, trying to find one of the last secrets of the game, but asking the player to do that 10 minutes into the game? That's just bad design.

While I'm fully in the Yars Revenge camp, my vote for #1 ever would be Star Raiders. It came with a special keypad, and, while the bad guys were different enough from TIE fighters to avoid a lawsuit... you knew exactly what you were doing. They might as well have told you your name was Luke Skyrunner.

My most vivid Atari memory, though, was when my friend and I got a copy of Real Sports Baseball. The graphics looked great (for Atari), the gameplay seemed fun... until we figured out that, if you held the joystick down, your batter would hit a home run every time. From that moment on, I expected a certain amount of bugs, glitches, poor AI, and the like in my games. The video game industry has still not failed to meet my expectations.
